In 2002, a Melbourne production opened with Paul McDermott as Van Horne and Marina Prior, Angela Toohey and Pippa Grandison as the Witches.

Witches of eastwick
I went to the show on Sunday with my girlfriend who loves a good musical. Well we got a fantastic one with some real toe tappers and warm harmonies especially by the lead witches. Being set inthe 1980s I could identify with the big hairdos and shoulder pads. My friend focused on the musos and was impressed with their sound and how it knitted together. a few favourites were Dirty Laundry and Dance with the Devil where the stage was full of action. Fidel the silent butler was hilarious and his deadpan face and costumes were magic. Thanks for a great show MLOC.
What a great show! The line
What a great show! The line between professional and amateur is very fine in this case as everyone put in a great performance - the singing and acting were superb. Loved 'Darryl Van Horne' - he had a very seductive influence and pulled the whole show together with that wonderful deep voice. The three 'witches' sang magnificently as individuals and in excellent harmony. The others in the cast were amazingly strong and the chorus supported it all with great singing and moves (loved the 'choir' scene). We thoroughly enjoyed the show. Hats off to Jane Court (Director) and all involved!!

I found the cure for dull Thursday nights. Go see a show and I saw a beauty Thursday with Witches of Eaastwick. This was a fun show with the old devil Daryl Van Horne charming 3 lonely ladies of Eastwick with a deep singing voice and good lines. My favourite was the sculptress who owned the stage when she was there. I dare anyone not to love her song" Another night at Daryls" and her dance with a boa. Some big numbers from the cast. Dance with the Devil was astandout with energy and short short costumes worn by the yonger cast members. Finallly the Band was strong tight and sharp and audiences will love Fidel, Daryl ' s valet; his costumes and facial expressions are magical. Thankyou to all the cast.

What a treat to see such a funny lively musical on a gloomy Sunday. The 80's costumes so much reminded me of my fashion choices back then. The singing by the witches was a joy. I loved the scene where the Devil and Jane make beautiful music together. Made me blush a bit. A stand out cameo was Fidel the butler who popped up in strange costumes and even a spa. You need to see the scene to believe it. Thanks MLOC for brightening up my day.
Witches show
Loved the show put on by MLOC. A friend invited me so we could have an aftermoon put on Sunday. It was so entertaining with lovely singers and geeat jokes mostly said by the Devil character who was played by a M Young. At the end the whole audience wa clapping and cheering along with the cast. Well done!

I agree with this

Went to the show with only knowing the film version of the book. This musical was so entertaining with some big songs like Make him mine and Dirty laundry. My favourite was the gospel Glory of You with the cast in choir robes. It was a hoot. Loved Susie Mcann who played the dorky Sukie whose song Words was a knockout. Plenty of good jokes by the Devil that I laughed out loud at.
The theatre was comfortable and the band was in full swing. Great great great.

MLOC's production was damn good with big songs and great dancing. We loved Daryl as the devil. He had a seductive voice and a fantastic wardrobe but would have benefited from being taller. My friends fell in love the witches and their singing. The enemble dancing was hot especially in Dance with the Devil. A tight band led by a Martine Wengrow. She made the band zing along. As Molly used to say " Do yourself a favour" and see the show.
